LANSDALE — Speaking in a calm but resolute voice on the witness stand inside a Lansdale courtroom Thursday afternoon, a Towamencin man recounted in detail the harrowing events of the morning of Oct. 19, when four strangers in dark hoodies burst into his family’s townhouse through the front door while he and his brother were watching television.

He told the court how three men came in at first — shouting “Get down, get down!” — and how, when he and his brother stood their ground, one of the men put his brother in a choke hold and he could hear him gurgling, struggling to breathe.

How one of the men threatened him with a large rock and a five-pound battery, both taken from the front yard, while at the same time telling him they “didn’t want to kill them.”

How a fourth man came into the house and reached into his hoodie, like he had a gun hidden inside, before the man with the rock told him to “put that away, we don’t need that.”

And how he and his brother were pushed to the floor, their hands bound with plastic zip-ties before they were hog-tied with neckties taken from an upstairs bedroom, while three of the men ransacked the house — stealing electronics, cash and other items — as a fourth man stood guard over them with a large kitchen knife in his hand.

“I was fearful...it was not a good experience,” the man testified.

As the man described the half-hour ordeal that he and his brother went through, a different set of brothers sat handcuffed and shackled in street clothes on chairs behind the defendant’s table, listening intently to the testimony while their attorneys scribbled notes on legal pads.

Phereourn Sream, 24, and Phrira Sream, 26 — both of the 5500 block of North Fairhill Street in Philadelphia — are accused of being two of the four men who committed the brazen home invasion robbery on the 600 block of Chadbourne Court that Saturday morning.

On Thursday, after listening to testimony from one of the victims — the only witness called to the stand by Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Lindsay O’Brien — District Judge Harold Borek held all charges against the Sream brothers for trial.

Borek made no changes to the $500,000 cash bail for each, which he set at their preliminary arraignments on Oct. 22 — the same day the pair was taken into custody at their home by Towamencin and Philadelphia police.

Authorities have not yet apprehended or publicly identified the other two men — one described by victims as Asian, the other African-American — allegedly involved in the robbery. Towamencin police have said only that the investigation is ongoing.

Police believe the robbers entered the front door of the victims’ home with a key possibly obtained during a separate robbery on Oct. 11 — according to documents filed in district court, the victims told investigators that their father, a Philadelphia restaurant owner, was carjacked in the city and the keys to his Towamencin residence, along with his car, were stolen.

Police have not said publicly whether the Sreams or their two unidentified accomplices in the alleged Towamencin incident are suspected of committing the reported carjacking in Philadelphia.

During the home invasion, the victim testified, the four men stole approximately $8,000 in cash from his parent’s bedroom, as well as the brothers’ Apple MacBook Air laptop computers, several video game systems and games, cellphones, a digital camera and other items.

However, the man testified, the robbers decided not to take his brother’s Apple iPad tablet after his brother told them that the device was owned by his company and could easily be traced.

That proved to be the Sream brothers’ undoing, according to court documents and witness testimony.

Not long after managing to free themselves from the zip-ties and neckties shortly after the four robbers left, then running to a neighbor’s house to report the incident to police, the victim testified that he and his brother used GPS tracking software on the iPad to locate one of the stolen MacBook Air computers, discovering that it was at an address on the 5500 block of North Fairhill Street and that it had been renamed “Phereourn’s MacBook Air.”

Noticing the name was unusual, the man testified, he did Google and Facebook searches until he found online profiles for both Phereourn and Phrira Sream with photos that matched the identities of two of the men that had robbed the house that morning.

“I am 100-percent sure” it was the Sreams that participated in the robbery, the man said.

Phereourn Sream, according to the victim’s testimony, was the one with the rock in his hand; Phrira Sream was the one who implied he had a gun, the victim said, although he never displayed a weapon.

The man told the court he presented his findings to a Towamencin detective.

A search warrant executed at the Sreams’ residence at the time of their arrest Oct. 22 resulted in the recovery of unspecified items taken during the Towamencin robbery, police said.

During a brief cross-examination of the witness, Phrira Sream’s attorney, Thomas Egan, sought to clarify some of the specifics of the man’s testimony about the incident, asking him, among other things, if he actually saw a gun or other weapon in his client’s possession — the victim said he didn’t, only that he believed he had a gun.

During questioning about which, if any, of the four men appeared to be in charge during the robbery, the witness testified it was mainly Phereourn Sream who was giving instructions to the others.

The victim also testified under cross-examination that none of the men entered the house with their faces concealed, but approximately halfway through the 30-minute robbery the two men who have not yet been apprehended put masks or bandannas over their faces.

Phrira Sream’s public defender had no questions for the victim, other than to ask how tall he is.

Neither defense attorney presented a closing argument, asked for any of the charges against their clients to be dismissed or requested bail to be reduced.

Borek then held all charges against each for trial.

Towamencin detectives led the Sreams out of the courtroom and to a police vehicle for transport back to Montgomery County Correctional Facility, where they’ve been incarcerated since their arraignments.

The Sream brothers are scheduled to be formally arraigned in county court on Jan. 15.
